Title: Desalination of seawater
Inventor: TAYLOR CAMPBELL MACKAY
IPC: F24S23/00
Filed: 2011-07-28
Abstract: A desalination system comprises seawater filled tubes which pass through glycol filled spheres. The curvature of a sun facing side of each sphere focuses solar rays to a focal point F within each sphere. From this focal point the solar rays diverge to a concave mirror MR, placed on the side of the sphere which is away from the sun, which then reflects the solar rays back to the same focal point thus heating the seawater. The concave mirror can be double the focal power of the spheres. The spheres are placed in a sun facing position, i.e. facing south in the northern hemisphere or facing north in the southern hemisphere. Seawater may be pumped upwards through telescopic (TL, Fig. 2) or tapered (TP, Fig. 2) tubes. After leaving a pump (P, Fig. 3), placed at the zenith of the system, the salt water may flow downwards and fill empty spheres which optionally have heated coils and steam valves so that the steam from the salt water passes into a fresh water reservoir, the remaining seawater dropping by gravity to drive water wheels or turbines for the generation of electricity.

Title: A touch sensor with a non-linear pattern of electrodes
Inventor: SLEEMAN PETER TIMOTHY
IPC: G06F3/044
Filed: 2012-10-08
Abstract: A touch-sensitive position sensor includes an array of first electrodes (204) and an array of second electrodes (206) arranged in a pattern to provide a sensing surface (202). At least some of the electrodes follow paths which are non-linear within the sensing surface such that there are ends of the first electrodes and ends of the second electrodes which meet a common edge of the sensing surface. A controller is coupled to electrodes and is arranged to determine a reported position for an object adjacent the sensing surface by measuring changes in an electrical parameter e.g. capacitance or resistance, associated with the electrodes and caused by the presence of the object. The controller is further operable to provide an indication of the reported position in a first coordinate system defined relative to the electrodes, the sensor further comprising a processor arranged to receive the indication of reported position from the controller in the first coordinate system (e.g. non cartesian) and to transform the reported position to an output position in a second coordinate system (Cartesian), wherein the transform is based on the non-linear pattern of electrodes. Thus, a sensor having electrodes which are distorted so as to meet a common edge may be provided for ease of connectability, with the distortion being accounted for through the transform performed by the processor.
